Spring and Summer Tours of Canada
In spring, much of the snow that covered Canada throughout winter starts to melt away. In the Rocky Mountains, wildlife begins to wake up from hibernation. Lush green shoots start popping up everywhere until the country is awash with colourful tulips and cherry blossom.
This fantastic journey through eastern Canada takes in the famous cosmopolitan cities of Toronto and Ottawa, the 'cultural capital' Montreal and historic Old Quebec, all of them connected by intriguing rail journeys through the Canadian landscape on the 'Corridor' train.

Experience Summer Tours of Canada
The beauty of Canada is its diversity of landscapes. If you are travelling from coast to coast, you can witness the marine landscape changing to tundra, which then transforms into mountains. There are a variety of different summer tours in Canada to choose from, each with a different itinerary but all equally enticing. Journey on the Rocky Mountaineer, a train that takes you along a historic railway line past forests, rivers, waterfalls, and deep gorges. Explore Jasper National Park and marvel at the incredible rock formations and waterfalls in Maligne Canyon. Feel the cooling mist on your face from Niagara Falls as you take a boat cruise to the foot of the waterfall, and take a dip in the hot springs at Banff. These are just some of the fantastic experiences you can look forward to on summer tours of Canada.
